Gas Prices: The New Hot Issue

Both Freedom's Watch, a conservative group, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are targeting incumbent congressional representatives and using radio ads to tie them to big oil and/or higher gas prices. Chris Cillizza outlines strategies and the full list of those targeted in his Washington Post blog the Fix today ("Freedom's watch to run radio ads").

Freedom's Watch includes two Pennsylvania congressman on their list: Chris Carney (PA-10) and Paul Kanjorski (PA-11), both Democratics.

The DCCC has three Pennsylvania congressmen on their target list: Charlie Dent (PA-15), Phil English (PA-03), and Jim Gerlach (PA-06).

Josh Drobnyk at Pennsylvania Avenue, just back from vacation and rarin' to go, has some thoughts on the DCCC adds.
